Description
This is a prime example of a highly sought-after Art Deco radio that no other manufacturer matches in its flair and presence. The chassis still retains the original manufacturer's paper tag, affixed to the back. The Radio was originally presented in June of 1936 to an audience of over 250 radio dealers at a convention held in Jackson, Michigan, Sparton's hometown.
The electronics of the radio have been refurbished to good working order.
